In the vast and perilous world of One Piece, Jeral's dream is simple: to live a peaceful, laid-back life—sailing gently across the blue waves on his ship, protecting the few loved ones he holds dear… and nothing more.

As for fighting, training, and chasing strength? That’s exhausting work—better left to his loyal and mighty subordinates! After all, who ever heard of a captain charging into battle himself?

Roger: “My treasure? If you want it, I'll grant it! Search on! All the world had to offer, I left in that place!”

Jeral: “Oh, please. You were broke. Anyone who wants the One Piece can have it—and the Pirate King title too, for all I care!”

But what Jeral never expected… was that his overzealous crew would be so determined, they might just forcefully carry him all the way to the throne of World King!

Author's Note (from the original creator):

This is a light-hearted and clever reimagining—not a story about an overpowered hero steamrolling enemies, nor a wide-eyed idealist sacrificing himself for everyone.

Jeral sets out to build a crew of his favorite characters, fix what he believes went wrong in the original storyline, and lend a hand where he can—without naive heroics or self-destructive sacrifice.

A seafaring adventure filled with chaos, charm, and a fresh take on the One Piece world.

Warning:

This story isn’t for readers who expect a solo god-tier protagonist defeating everyone with ease, or those waiting for a savior to arrive in Chapter One!
